I’m obsessed with Ghana- Abena Ghana
Ghanaian Actress and Television personality, Cecilia Gyase Konamah affectionately called Abena Ghana has disclosed that her obsession with the country made her use the name as her brand.
According to her, she was passionate about promoting her country on every platform with the slightest opportunity that might come her way.
She made these remarks in an interview with The Spectator after the launch of her Ghana Town Restaurant at Dome Pillar Two, in Accra.
The actress said that she believed in the country, and would want all and sundry to champion the Ghana agenda, and called for the need to patronise ‘Made in Ghana’ products.
Through this, the economy could be boosted since those involved in the value chain would generate an income to impact the economy positively.
She said that it was for this reason, that her Ghana Town restaurant served local dishes like acheke, banku and tilapia, pito among other local foods and drinks.
Talking about her love for cooking, she said her late mother who did food business for the past 30 years inspired her to get into the restaurant business.
Tima Kumkum, Mamalistic Mama, Elorm, Lady More, Oboy, Frank Nero among others were at the recent launch of Ghana Town restaurant.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
